It's a father-son reunion story warm enough to be translated into a tender screenplay. It was indeed a historical moment when star-cricketer Yuvraj Singh made it a point to be present for his father Yograj Singh's shooting of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag.

Yograj Singh, a Punjabi-Hindi actor of nearly three decades' experience before the camera (he was first seen in J.P.Dutta' Batwara in 1983) plays Milkha Singh's coach in Mehraâs film.

Yuvraj suddenly showed up to show solidarity with his father when Yograj began to shoot for the film.

Says the friend, "After his illness, Yuvraj has become closer to his father. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the first film featuring his father that Yuvraj made it a point to take interest in. When Yuvraj arrived on location, we could see his father was deeply moved."

While Yuvraj remained unavailable for comment, Rakeysh Mehra confirmed the incident. "It was an extremely interesting moment when Yuvraj dropped in on the sets. He gave the clap for his father Yograj's shot. Yuvraj's presence was a great inspiration for the cast and crew. Personally it meant a lot to me. My film is an inspiring story of a sports legend. To have a contemporary sports iconâs father in my film and to have the sports icon visiting our set was according to me, a moment of history."
